The electronic system 1 includes a host 10, a multimedia processing circuit 20, an audio output device 30, a display 40 and an audio input device 50. The host 10 can be a desktop computer, a notebook, a mobile communication device, but not limited thereto. The host 10 and the multimedia processing circuit 20 are two independent devices. The host 10 and multimedia processing circuit 20 are independent and separate from each other. The host 10 is connected to the multimedia processing circuit 20 through a wireless or wired connection. The host 10 includes an application program 100, an audio engine 102 and a driver 104. The application program 100 is stored in a storage device (not shown in figures) of the host 10 and executed by a processing circuit (not shown in figures) of the host 10. The application program 100 is configured to process audio streams. The audio streams correspond to a first language. Audio data of the audio streams maybe classified into a plurality of audio (sound) categories. The audio engine 102 acquires a first a first sound type of audio data from the audio streams processing by the application program 100 as speech data corresponding to a first language. The driver 104 outputs the speech data corresponding to the first language and acquired by the audio engine 102 to the multimedia processing circuit 20. For example, the driver 104 transmits the speech data corresponding to the first language to the multimedia processing circuit 20 through a transmission interface (e.g., universal serial bus (USB) interface).

The multimedia processing circuit 20 can be a system on a chip (SOC), but not limited thereto. The multimedia processing circuit 20 includes a smart interpreter engine 200 and an audio engine 202. The smart interpreter engine 200 can convert the speech data corresponding to a first language into text data corresponding to a second language. The audio engine 202 can convert the speech data corresponding to the first language into an analog speech signal corresponding to the first language. The audio output device 30 is utilized for playing the analog speech signal corresponding to the first language. The audio output device 30 can be a headphone or a speaker, but not limited thereto. The display 40 is utilized for displaying the text data corresponding to the second language. The audio input device 50 is utilized for acquiring sound of the current environment to generate an audio signal corresponding to a first language. The audio input device 50 can be a microphone, but not limited thereto. The audio output device 30, the display 40 and the audio input device 50 can be connected to the multimedia processing circuit 20 through wireless or wired connections. In addition, the audio output device 30 and the audio input device 50 maybe integrated onto a single structural element, such as a headset product.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the electronic system 1 operating in a first operation mode (rendering mode) according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In the first operation mode (rendering mode), the audio engine 102 acquires a first sound type of audio data from audio streams processed by the application program 100 for acting as speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to a first language. The speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language can be transmitted to the driver 104. For example, audio (sound) category of Microsoft Windows 10 operating system includes at least the following: movie, media, game chat, speech, communications, alerts, sound effects, game media, game effect, others. Each audio data can be tagged with one of sound categories. The audio engine 102 acquires at least one sound type of audio data from audio streams processed by the application program 100 for acting as speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to a first language. In an embodiment, the audio engine 102 acquires all of the audio data tagged as “Game chat” from the audio streams processed by the application program 100 for acting as the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language according to the audio category tagged with the audio data. In an alternative embodiment, the audio engine 102 acquires all of the audio data tagged as any of “Game chat”, “communications” and “others” from the audio streams processed by the application program 100 for acting as the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language according to the audio category tagged with the audio data.

Please further refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The audio engine 102 includes an audio processing object (APO) 1020 and a mixer 1022. For example, if the application program 100 is game software. The APO 1020 includes a stream effect (SFX) APO. As shown in Table 1, the SFX APO can receive audio (sound) data of game from the application program 100 for sound effect processing. For example, the SFX APO can obtain audio data tagged as “game chat” (e.g. , player vocal shown in Table 1) for sound effect processing. Before sound effect processing, the APO 1020 can copy the audio data tagged as “game chat” , and the copied audio data is utilized as the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language. In other words, the audio engine 102 can utilize the APO 1020 to acquire the required sound type of audio data from the audio streams. In more detail, the audio engine 102 merely acquires the required sound type of audio data from the audio streams without further processing the acquired audio data. Moreover, the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language is transmitted to the mixer 1022. The mixer 1022 outputs the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language to the driver 104.

Further, the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language obtained by the audio engine 102 is transmitted to the driver 104. The driver 104 provides the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language to the smart interpreter engine 200 and the audio engine 202. Since the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language is a digital signal, the audio engine 202 converts the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language into an analog speech signal S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language. The analog speech signal S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language is an analog signal. For example, the audio engine 202 includes a digital to analog converter (not shown in figures). The digital to analog converter can convert the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language into an analog speech signal S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language. The audio engine 202 outputs the analog speech signal S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language to the audio output device 30. The audio output device 30 playbacks the analog speech signal S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language to generate sound to the user. The smart interpreter engine 200 converts the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language into text data TXT_(REMOTE) corresponding to a second language and provides the text data TXT_(REMOTE) corresponding to the second language to the display 40. The display 401 displays the text data TXT_(REMOTE) corresponding to the second language for the user.

For example, if the first language is English and the second language is Chinese. After receiving the speech data S_(REMOTE) in English, the host 10 provides the speech data S_(REMOTE) in English to the multimedia processing circuit 20. The multimedia processing circuit 20 converts the speech data S_(REMOTE) in English into an analog speech data S_(REMOTE′) in English and transmits the analog speech data S_(REMOTE′) in English to the audio output device 30 for playback. Meanwhile, the smart interpreter engine 200 of the multimedia processing circuit 20 converts the speech data S_(REMOTE) in English into text data TXT_(REMOTE) in Chinese, such that the display 40 displays the text data TXT_(REMOTE) in Chinese.

In other words, when a user familiar with English is using the electronic system 1, the user can hear the analog speech data S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language played by the audio output device 30 and see the text data TXT_(REMOTE) displayed by the display 40. Under such a situation, even the user does not understand the analog speech data S_(REMOTE′) corresponding to the first language, the user can understand and perceive what the information conveyed by the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language while seeing the text data TXT_(REMOTE) corresponding to the second language displayed by the display 40.

Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the electronic system 1 operating in a second operation mode (capturing mode) according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In the second operation mode (capturing mode), the audio input device 50 acquires sound of the current environment to generate an analog speech signal S_(LO) corresponding to a first language. The analog speech signal S_(LO) corresponding to the first language can be transmitted to the audio engine 202. Since the analog speech signal S_(LO) corresponding to the first language is an analog signal, the audio engine 202 converts the analog speech signal S_(LO) corresponding to the first language into speech data S_(LO), corresponding to the first language. The speech data S_(LO), corresponding to the first language is a digital signal. For example, the audio engine 202 includes an analog to digital converter (not shown in figures). The analog to digital converter can convert the analog speech data S_(LO) corresponding to the first language into the speech data S_(LO), corresponding to the first language. The speech data S_(LO), corresponding to the first language is transmitted to the smart interpreter engine 200. The smart interpreter engine 200 converts the speech data S_(LO), corresponding to the first language into speech data S_(LO), corresponding to a second language. In an embodiment, the smart interpreter engine 200 converts the speech data S_(LO), corresponding to the first language into text data corresponding to the first language and further converts the text data corresponding to the first language into text data corresponding to the second language. Further, the smart interpreter engine 200 converts the text data corresponding to the second language into the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language.

Moreover, the smart interpreter engine 200 transmits the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to the host 10. The host 10 provides the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to external devices. For example, the smart interpreter engine 200 transmits the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to the driver 104. The driver 104 transmits the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to the audio engine 102. The speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language is transmitted to the application program 100 through the APO 1020 and the mixer 1022. The application program 100 provides the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to the external device. As a result, when a user familiar with the second language is using the external device, the user can understand and perceive the information conveyed by the user of the electronic system 1 when hearing the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language outputted by the electronic system 1.

Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the smart interpreter engine 200 shown in FIG. 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The smart interpreter engine 200 includes a noise suppression module 2000, a vocal identification module 2002, a speech to text converter 2004, a natural language processing (NLP) module 2006, a translator 2008, a text to speech converter 2010 and a text database 2012. When the electronic system 1 operates in the first operation mode (capturing mode), the driver 104 of the host 10 transmits the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language to the smart interpreter engine 200 of the multimedia processing circuit 20. The noise suppression module 2000 performs a noise suppression process on the speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language for reducing noise component in the speech data. The vocal identification module 2002 performs a vocal identification process on the noise-suppressed speech data S_(REMOTE) corresponding to the first language to generate vocal identification data corresponding to the first language. The vocal identification data is vocal data in the noise-suppressed speech data S_(REMOTE′) which is determined as a human voice by the vocal identification module 2002. In addition, if there is no noise suppression requirement, the smart interpreter engine 200 can directly transmit the noise-suppressed speech data S_(REMOTE) to the vocal identification module 2002 for vocal identification processing. The speech to text converter 2004 converts the vocal identification data corresponding to the first language into text data corresponding to the first language. The text data corresponding to the first language may include at least one word.

The NLP module 2006 can convert the text data corresponding to the first language into glossary text data corresponding to the first language. For example, the NLP module 2006 converts the text data corresponding to the first language into glossary text data corresponding to the first language according to the application program 100 being executed in the host 10. The host 10 can inform the smart interpreter engine 200 of information of the application program 100 being executed in the host 10. Besides, the smart interpreter engine 200 can ask the host 10 which application program 100 is executing by the host 10. For example, the NLP module 2006 queries the text database 2012 according to the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 and the text data corresponding to the first language converted by the speech to text converter 2004. The text database 2012 includes a plurality of text samples corresponding to the first language and a plurality of application programs, and a plurality of glossary texts corresponding to the text samples. For example, a first text sample corresponding to the first language and a first application program has corresponding glossary text corresponding to the first language. A second text sample corresponding to the first language and a second application program has corresponding glossary text corresponding to the first language and so on. Each text sample includes at least one word. Each glossary text includes at least one word. As such, the NLP module 2006 can compare the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 and the text data corresponding to the first language with the text samples of the text database 2012, so as to find out the match results and accordingly determine the corresponding glossary text.

When a word of the text data corresponding to the first language matches a first text sample of the plurality of text samples and the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 matches an application program corresponding to the first text sample, the NLP module 2006 converts the word of the text data corresponding to the first language into the glossary text corresponding to the first text sample. When a plurality of words of the text data corresponding to the first language matches a first text sample of the plurality of text samples and the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 matches an application program corresponding to the first text sample, the NLP module 2006 converts the plurality of words of the text data corresponding to the first language into the glossary text corresponding to the first text sample.

Further, the translator 2008 converts the glossary text data corresponding to the first language into text data TXT_(REMOTE) corresponding to a second language. As a result the text data TXT_(REMOTE) corresponding to a second language can be provided to the display 40 for display to the user.

For example, please refer to Table 2. Table 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the text database 2012. Suppose the first language is English and the second language is Chinese. The first application program is League of Legends game software. The second application program is Minecraft game software. The third application program is SimCity game software. The fourth application program is general application program. For example, in this embodiment, the fourth application program can be any application program except the fifth application program. The glossary text corresponding to the fourth application program may be a daily life expression, rather than a glossary text dedicated to a component, a prop or a role in a specific game software. The fifth application program is PUBG (PLAYER UNKNOWN'S BATTLE GROUNDS) game software. If an English word in the text data is “flash” and the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 is the first application program, the NLP module 2006 converts the English word “flash” into a glossary text “flash” of English corresponding to the first application program. The translator 2008 converts the glossary text “flash” of English into Chinese words “

” (Chinese characters). If an English word in the text data is “flash” and the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 is the second application program, the NLP module 2006 converts the English word “flash” into a glossary text “accelerator” of English corresponding to the first application program. The translator 2008 converts the glossary text “accelerator” of English into Chinese words “

” (Chinese characters). In other words, each application program may apply different glossary texts (i.e. different glossary texts for different application programs). The user can choose different text database (also called language pack) for the smart interpreter engine 200. The multimedia processing 20 can also detect the kind of application program being executed and accordingly switch to the corresponding text database for interpretation.

If an English word in the text data is “feeder” and the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 is the first application program, the NLP module 2006 converts the English word “feeder” into a glossary text “fertilizer” of English corresponding to the first application program. The translator 2008 converts the glossary text “fertilizer” of English into Chinese words “

” (Chinese characters). If an English word in the text data is “feeder” and the application program 100 being executed in the host 10 is the second application program, the NLP module 2006 converts the English feeder “flash” into a glossary text “feeder” of English corresponding to the first application program. The translator 2008 converts the glossary text “feeder” of English into Chinese words “

” (Chinese characters) and the like.

When playing the Minecraft online game, the user UA says “use flash” in English and the corresponding analog speech signal of English is generated and transmitted to the electronic system 1 utilized by the user UB through the network. The electronic system 1 utilized by the user UB converts the analog speech signal of English in to speech data S_(REMOTE) (digital data) of English. Since the host 10 is currently implementing the second application program, the smart interpreter engine 200 converts the speech data “flash” of English into Chinese words “

” (Chinese characters) after querying the text database 2012. Moreover, the smart interpreter engine 200 converts the speech data “use” of English into Chinese words “

” (Chinese characters) after querying the text database 2012. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the user UB can hear the spoken words “use flash” in English played by the audio output device 30 based on the analog speech data S_(REMOTE′). A display area 400C of the display 40 shows Chinese words “

” in Chinese characters. A display area 400D of the display 40 shows Chinese words “

” in Chinese characters. As a result, although the user UB does not understand English and does hear the analog speech data S_(REMOTE′) (i.e. the spoken words “use flash”) of English played by the audio output device 30, the user UB can still understand and perceive what the information conveyed by the user UA while seeing the Chinese words “

” in Chinese characters displayed on the display 40.

Please further refer to FIG. 4. When the electronic system 1 operates in the second operation mode (capturing mode), the audio engine 202 converts the analog speech signal S_(LO) corresponding to the first language into speech data S_(LO′) corresponding to the first language and transmits the speech data S_(LO′) corresponding to the first language to the smart interpreter engine 200. Further, the noise suppression module 2000 performs a noise suppression process on the speech data S_(LO′) corresponding to the first language for reducing noise component in the speech data. The vocal identification module 2002 performs a vocal identification process on the noise-suppressed speech data S_(LO′) corresponding to the first language to generate vocal identification data corresponding to the first language. The speech to text converter 2004 converts the vocal identification data corresponding to the first language into text data corresponding to the first language. As mentioned above, The NLP module 2006 can convert the text data corresponding to the first language into glossary text data corresponding to the first language. The translator 2008 converts the glossary text data corresponding to the first language into text data corresponding to a second language. After that, the text to speech converter 2010 converts the text data corresponding to the second language into the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language. After that, the smart interpreter engine 200 transmits the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to the host 10. The host provides the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language to the external devices. Under such a situation, when a user familiar with the second language is using the external device, the user can understand and perceive the information conveyed by the user of the electronic system 1 after hearing the speech data S_(LO_O) corresponding to the second language outputted by the electronic system 1.
